On Sunday, August 28, I went to World Press Photo 2011 exhibit for seeing the “Press - Side” (photojournalism) style photography ..Apart of ingenious ‘nature photography’ pieces displayed at the furthest corner of all - guess what: I was stunned by how deeply politicized and disgustingly brutal the whole thing is... Stunningly brutal scenes of Asia, Mexico and Africa are very suggestive indeed...
The only ‘shot’ I took there is a (at the entrance) poster of ‘WPF 2011’s' avatar displaying an Afghan woman who’s husband cut her nose (and years) off for running away to her parents. Needless to say – it’s a winning image... Set opinions aside; - I’ll let your imagination run wild. My favorite images are:
1.Joséphine Nsimba Mpongo, 37, practices the cello in the Kimbanguiste neighborhood of Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. 2. North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il attends a military parade, together with his youngest son and designated successor Kim Jong-un, in Pyongyang on 10 October.
See the whole thing here Cheers ! |
